snip-"The group supporting a constitutional amendment on reproductive rights will take their arguments against a deceptive summary approved and written by the Ohio Ballot Board to the state supreme court.
Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights announced Monday afternoon that they plan to file a lawsuit Monday asking the Ohio Supreme Court either to order the ballot board to use the full text of the amendment on ballots this November, or to correct blatant inaccuracies.
The summary that was adopted by the Ballot Board is intentionally misleading and fails to meet the standards required by Ohio law, said OURRs Lauren Blauvelt in a statement announcing the move."

(37,109 posts)3. That's what the Republicans do here. You go to vote and with all the legalese you are totally
confused on the issue. Last month if you opposed the obortion ban you voted NO. Now I hear a NO vote is the opposite.
So now people will remember being told to vote NO when YES supports abortion.
